"I had a newbie ask me this one day.....and my jaw dropped!"

the motor cargo tractors are even better

 

Shesus.. Your line drivers always complain about the Motor Cargo dolly's.. What the hell do they look like??

 

the motor cargo convertor dollys were built by taking the front axle off a 1996 plymouth breeze with 200k miles on it, duct taping a 5th wheel on top of it, and coating the entire thing in rust

 

I'm trying to go to sleep for tonight and I can't now.. Between the stories about the toppled Con-way pup, Freebirds descriptions of UPSF equipment, and my Con-way buddy Ballistic Mike going ballistic in Brooklyn after the road to our Brooklyn terminal was closed and he had to split his set to get out of a residential I'm laughing too hard to sleep.. I'm just picturing Mike spotting pups 10 blocks away and zooming down a one way in the wrong direction with his bobtail to retrieve the other pup.. He did the entire thing in like 20 minutes probably with a big grin on his face since he has no trucking fear.. Ahh my Con-way peeps - I missed a good night..

 

my buddy did the same thing the first time he ever pulled doubles....we both catch hell for everything we do cuz hes 22, im 21 and the next youngest driver is 29...most are 40+

 

sorry im geting off topic but it is 6am and i did work 11 hours today

 

what am i talking about, 11 hours is probably typical to you jakebrake

 

No doubt.. Mike sits right ahead of me here on the board and I'm 29 and he's 31 - both of us have about 7 years so I can relate.. You two will be us two in a few years.. I'm literally in tears laughing right now because he decided to call me as soon as he had to split his set even though he knew I was off. He's on the phone with me as he's trying to retrieve a pup he dropped on a residential street in Brooklyn, NY as he's zooming down a one way street heading the wrong direction.. Dude has absolutely no trucking fear.. You'll develop some lifetime friendships and stories at UPSF as I have at Con-way..

 

Was running 11 3/4 nights but we went from 60 to 70 hour logs this week so I'm gonna use it.. 100K here I come..lol..

 

i already got my fair share of drinking buddies from this job
